Does anyone have data on how many stocks that split go up or down the day they split? Is this of any importance? Also, could someone tell me what is the disadvantage of ZITL or MATRIDIGM in releasing a white paper or some kind of press release to ease the tensions of their shareholders who have no other information other than newsletters, chat groups, etc. How many companies that have a 100% "sure thing" don't release any info. until they have signatures on the dotted line. Surely they have enough beta results to give some comfort? Although, I believe the conference call said they only had alpha test results. I don't know. They seem to expect a lot of their shareholders in terms of "blind faith" -- almost like many physicians who treat patients as if they had no brain or reasoning ability. Have you ever questioned a doctor on something? I feel just as intelligent and capable as most doctors -- just have a different degree. I'm not saying you shouldn't take their advice (because that is their training), but you certainly should expect a logical explanation that can make you feel better about following this advice. Has ZITL or MATRIDIGM offered any tangible proof other than that conference call which was simply filled with words that most interpret as "cocky" and "they are bound by non-disclosure". Seems to me they have said nothing but "I am Esping, Brady, Titow, Chiang, Emerald, Stewart. You must buy and believe simply because we said so. Don't dare to question us. We will simply laugh and be cocky."

I don't want to beat a dead horse, and I may miss the "greatest investment opportunity of the century", but I'm out with profit until something tangible is presented. I rode from 20's to 30's and jumped out. Then from 30's to 40's. But now I think the downside risk of even a miniscule negative announcement far outweighs the $5-$15 immediate upside profit of waiting for "good" news. I would be really surprised for this to move past $30 on no more news. If they make a grand pronouncement and I jump back in at $30, what have I really lost if it's going to $699 as Stewart says. But if something has been overlooked, or the speculative value of MATRIDIGM has been a little overdone, could I even get out with the profit I have already accumulated? What is the advantage of sitting on this profit and taking that risk?

RISK vs REWARD. Is my thinking flawed? Please respond.
